I'm sure this is very easy, I am going to replace my splitters tomorrow, and is it just a case of removing the pins/screws that are underneath?

Yes.

Remove the little pin in the middle of the plastic rivet first, then remove the big bit of the rivet and pull out the splitter.

OR if you are NathanCSL (that's the green one) you can run over a high curb on Ring

This removes it very nicely and you don't have to remove your seat belt ( never mind the pin )

He's thought of everything!

They are so easy to remove that a 10 min sweep round the next csl register meet would result in a very good ebay haul ;)

If you can get the middle rivet out first!!!!! :banghead: Mine where pretty shagged and had a hell of a time getting them out!!! :banghead:

Got there in the end and have ordered some new rivets as mine are well shagged now!

Ordered? they have them in stock or at least so near that it makes no difference - ignore the special part numbers and take an old one in, they can match them up, wheel arch liner rivets for a 5 series or something equally weird.

My local didn't have any in stock, so they'll be here tomorrow. Only a few pennies.
